TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN Wo a ; THE TORONTO '51 J | sYnDICATE A quiet, diffident boy, Marty, almost eight, needs love and re- assurance. Unhappy experiences, before he came into the care of the Children's Aid Society have left him without confidence in himself. He should blossom in the warm, encouraging at- mosphere of a family which he knows is his very own. Marty is Anglo-Saxon in descent, good-looking and slightly built with lovely brown eyes. blonde wavy hair, fair skin and a dimple in his chin. He is in good health. A slight speechdefect is gradually improving without therapy. He is not difficult to understand. Going into Grade two, Marty is at least average in ability. He tries hard to do his best in whatever he attempts. Pleasant, polite, well behaved, Marty is talkative when with people he knows. He enjoys attention but does not seek it. Like most small boys, Marty plays a lot with cars and trucks. He takes them apart and since he has a good deal of manual dexterity and understands how many things work, he also puts them together again. Marty loves to help his foster father fix things around the house. He is fond of skating and likes the water though he hasn't yet learned to swim. Lovable young Marty needs a home where he will be the only child or the youngest by several years and where the mother and father will want to spend a great deal of time with their son. To inquire about adopting Marty, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, please contact your local Children's Aid Society. HE'S PLEASANT & POLITE
